I think this is the right photo. The guy is wearing a hat that says "The Outdoorsman Sportshop". That is where the rumored possible record breaker was checked in. One other thing, the guy in this picture isnt the one who killed it, it was this guys 19 year old son who shot it. Shot on unmanaged farmland where 5 other guys hunted and this deer had never been seen by anyone till the day he was killed. Great buck, but i dont think it breaks the world record and it may not even break a state record becuase this deer could easily be scored a non typical buck.

I think this could easily be scored as a typical because even though its not the average cookie cutter shape of a whitetail rack, its very even. They say it green score over 220 but with deductions and shrinkage it should be close to 200. I believe that this will be a new state record but short of the world record held by Mitch Romploa. Yep...Rompola. Its real and if anyone has bothered to read the latest local news in Travers City Michigan they would know as well. The Rompola buck was examined, scored and out-scored Milo Hansons buck by a few inches. Rompola signed a legal contract that says he wont publicly expose his score to Boone and Crockett panel until someone else beats Hanson's buck. Every year the United States is pumping out bigger and better bucks. so...congrats to the man who killed this massive buck and congrats to Mitch Rompola who has the worlds biggest buck but not the title. I also would rather support a hunter like Rompola over Hanson any day, Rompola hunts all year and is an avid sportsman, where Hanson is a novice that damn near shoots the bucks rack off before getting lucky and finally hitting some vitals on a running deer. It all boils down to this formula "Rompola+huge deer+hunting ethics+skill=Biggest buck ever, and Luck+ high powered rifle+blind shooting+Milo Hanson+non-hunting rich man=Luckiest shot in deer hunting.

I have seen the picture deer at the Outdoorsman. I have heard that it will go Typical state record, 1st in the U.S. and 2nd in the world. That is one huge deer. I am glad to see Indiana deer getting bigger.

Saw the pictures myself and all i can say is let's get out there and hunt. There is another one somewhere that is bigger ( There always is). What an awe inspiring animal. Could you imagine watching that walk through the woods to you.

Does anyone have any additional info on this harvest? It would be difficult not to shoot at a buck like this if you already had one under your belt. Some people do it though, and check the buck under another hunter's name. It's called party hunting and it is illegal in Indiana.
